ABOUT US

We collaborate with a team of health care professionals within our community to promote health and wellness throughout the lifespan for women and infants.

What is a Certified 

Nurse-Midwife (CNM)?

Certified Nurse-Midwives are trained in two disciplines: nursing and midwifery. They earn graduate level degrees from midwifery institutions accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education and are licensed as Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, commonly known as Nurse-Practitioners, in the state by the Texas Board of Nursing. CNMs hold national credentials from the American Midwifery Certification Board that designates them as Certified Nurse-Midwives. In Texas, CNMs work closely with physicians to collaborate with, co-manage, or even to transfer clients if indicated.

As Advanced Practice Registered Nurses,

CNMs are credentialed to provide: 

Monday - Friday 11:00 - 18:30

Saturday 11:00 - 17:00

Sunday 12:30 - 16:30 

• Primary care.

• Gynecologic and family planning services.

• Preconception care.

• Care during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum.

• Care of the newborn for the first 28 days of life. 

• Treatment of male partners for sexually transmitted illnesses.

Ashley Greene, MSN, APRN, CNM

Hi there! I’m Midwife Ashley, CNM. Born and raised in Dallas, TX, I feel very connected to my community. I’m a wife to my best friend and the mother of three sweet little boys and one sweet little girl. When I’m not catching babies, you can usually find me out and about supporting local community businesses, attending events with my family, and/or taking care of my chickens and garden.
